GERD and constipation.
I have the worst case of heartburn, but as I am able to cut down on the amount of food I eat and when I eat, it should go away.
I am losing weight though, once I get past the constipation. And I feel better. Mostly because my blood sugar isn’t swinging — and it is definately not swinging now! And it is fairly low.
If I can keep this up a bit longer, my carb ratios should go back down.
I’m hoping since it is subQ, my oby/gen will be more willing to let me inject myself.

I’ve managed to keep my TDD under 70 for the past 4 days. Starting to feel a lot better. Blood sugar is still under 200 all day, which is good. Fasting blood sugar was high this morning.
I think I’m going to focus on not eating in the evening unless my blood sugar is less than 120 before I go to bed. I’m still a bit worried about going low in the night.
While I only lo-carb in a crisis, anytime I can choose something that doesn’t spike my blood sugar as much, I’m happier and probably healthier.
I do watch what kind and how much sweetner, because many of them do cause problems. The sweetners in low carb candies for example, are notorious. However, they still affect my blood sugar, just not as quickly as regular sugar.

Woke up this morning with good blood sugar. First time it wasn’t too high in weeks. However, I did get woke up by a thunderstorm and power failure and was able to check and adjust twice.
The best news though, is that I’m getting my insulin usage more stable. I’m back down to below 65 consistently and was between 80-100.
Best news — we’ve got 5 more full days.
Bad news — I’m getting anxious and want to get started on my classes, but can’t until June 6.
I’ve been able to stick to very reduced carb, and keep my insulin dosage low. I’ve also been able to keep my blood sugar under 200 for about two days. If I can keep it up, I know things will get better.
I think I’m going to make it. We’ve got two weeks with kids, and then one teacher workday. And actually, we’ve got one full week with kids, then we go to the exam schedule. Two weeks from today is final check out.
Blood sugar was high this morning, and I’ve got the dentist to deal with this evening. He’s supposed to do two fillings in my lower jaw, but they aren’t bothering me, and the tooth next to the one he just worked on broke. It hasn’t bothered me, so I’ve waited.
I’m finally getting my blood sugar where I want it. It’s been horrible lately — even did an A1C, and it’s the highest it’s been in ages. 7.4 I was getting better A1C on MDI!
The key is to stay full without affecting blood sugar. That means lots of protein and lots of salad.
Once I can get the blood sugar down and under control, the cravings go away and food isn’t a problem anymore.
In case anyone is wondering, yes, I am still working out, but between the stress at the workplace AND mostly messing with Apidra, my eating has been out of control.
I’m still on the treadmill almost every day and doing weight almost every day and using iShape to schedule and track that. I REALLY REALLY recommend iShape, and I’m going to start taking full advantage of their message boards again.
I’ve been thinking and saying all along, that no cure is ever going to happen unless they understand the mechanism that makes Type 1’s diabetics.
